About Paula

Hello, My love for the aging started as a young child when my parents took me and my siblings to a care center and had us participate in "Adopt a Grandparent" program. Mind you, this was long before volunteering was what you did, and certainly who would bring children into a nursing home? But my parents did, and it instilled in me a deep love and respect for my elders. As a Care Manager, I have gone to doctor's appointments, so "Children back home can understand what is going on." And hired and arranged schedules with aids. I also travel. I am a former Army Medic. So, I can do blood pressures and medications, and cook a healthy meal and make sure there is plenty of food in the house too. I recently transitioned my morning client into assisted living and now have mornings available. I am stable and can provide you with great care, honesty, magnificent work ethic, and love hearing all your stories. I can give you my current resume and references if you ask. Thank you for reading.
